Bob Stoops/Samaje Perine talk on the Sooners run game that amassed 405 yards on the ground Saturday.

* Running backs Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon combined for 355 of OU’s 405 total rushing yards. Both rushed for more than 100 yards, marking the first time OU has had two 100-yard rushers since last year at Texas Tech (Perine and quarterback Cody Thomas).

* Saturday marked the first time OU had two players with at least 100 yards rushing and two rushing TDs each since the 2008 Big 12 Championship game vs. Missouri (Mossis Madu, Chris Brown – each had three TDs).

* OU’s four first-half rushing TDs were its most in a half since recording five in the opening half against Texas in 2012.

* The Sooners rushed for 216 yards in the first half, their most in the opening two quarters this season.

* OU finished with season highs in rushing yards (405) and rushing TDs (seven). It was the first time the Sooners had at least 300 yards on the ground since last year’s Kansas game (Nov. 22, 2014).
